Our principles
Plain-spoken. Competent. Dry.
Mildly allergic to corporate nonsense. We do not promise disruption. We promise to understand the problem, build the thing, and make sure the thing works.
Useful Before Impressive
A tool should solve the problem it was purchased to solve. That sounds obvious. It apparently is not.
Simple Where Possible
Complexity is sometimes necessary. Most of the time, it is merely accumulated. We remove it whenever we can.
Honest Pricing
Customers should understand what they are paying for and why.
Reusable, Not Generic
We reuse strong foundations so customers do not pay repeatedly for the same basic work. The result is still adapted to the business using it.
No Feature Hoarding
More features do not automatically make a product better. A good product contains the features it needs.
Technology Is a Tool
The customer should not have to care which framework, database, or fashionable acronym sits behind the product. They should care that it works.
The business model
A catalogue of focused, reusable products.
Instead of treating every customer as an entirely new software company, we maintain reliable foundations that can be deployed and adapted quickly. Revenue comes from:
- Initial setup and configuration
- Hosting and maintenance subscriptions
- Optional custom features
- Integrations with existing services
- Bespoke development when a standard product is not enough
This makes small projects commercially viable while letting us build increasingly capable products over time. Every project improves the tools available for the next one.
The brand
Very Good Tech Company is deliberately literal.
The name reflects the entire philosophy of the business: technology does not need to claim it will change civilisation. It needs to be good.
We make good technology. Not revolutionary technology. Not disruptive technology. Just good technology.
Sounds like your kind of company?
Then we should probably talk about the thing you need built.
